Consultation: Schedule a consultation with your electrologist before your first session. This allows you to discuss your goals, ask questions, and address any concerns you may have.

Hair Length: It’s important to have hair long enough for the electrologist to work with. Refrain from tweezing, waxing, or using hair removal creams for several days before your session to ensure that there’s sufficient hair for treatment.

Avoid Sun Exposure: Sunburned or tanned skin can be more sensitive during electrolysis. Avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning beds before your appointment.

Clean Skin: Ensure your skin is clean and free of makeup, lotions, and oils on the day of your appointment. Clean skin allows for better conductivity and a more effective treatment.

Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration can help make the skin more receptive to electrolysis. Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your session.

Avoid Caffeine: If you’re sensitive to pain or prone to anxiety, consider avoiding caffeine on the day of your appointment, as it can increase sensitivity.

Pain Relief: If you’re concerned about discomfort, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, 30 minutes before your appointment. However, consult with your electrologist or a healthcare provider before doing so.

Comfortable Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment, especially if you’re having treatment on your legs or other body areas. This allows for ease of access and reduces friction after treatment.

Arrive on Time: Arriving on time ensures that you have sufficient time for your treatment and any necessary consultation.

Keep the Area Clean: After your electrolysis session, gently cleanse the treated area with a mild, non-alcoholic, and non-fragranced cleanser to remove any residual gel or products used during the procedure.

Avoid Touching: Refrain from touching or picking at the treated area to prevent infection or irritation. This also includes avoiding makeup, lotions, or other products on the treated area immediately after the session.

Apply a Soothing Cream: Your electrologist may recommend or provide a soothing cream or gel to apply to the treated area. This can help reduce redness and discomfort.

Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect the treated area from direct sunlight and tanning beds for at least 24-48 hours post-treatment. Use sunscreen with a high SPF if the area must be exposed.

Avoid Heat and Sweat: Steer clear of hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, and intense physical activities that can induce sweating for 24-48 hours after electrolysis. Sweat and heat can irritate the treated skin.

Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help keep your skin hydrated, which aids in the healing process.

Avoid Harsh Products: Refrain from using harsh skincare products or exfoliants on the treated area for several days. Stick to gentle, non-irritating skincare routines.

Keep Scheduled Appointments: Electrolysis often requires multiple sessions to achieve permanent hair removal. Stay consistent with your appointments as recommended by your electrologist.

Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help keep your skin hydrated, which aids in the healing process.
